    Never. It goes against our values.

  • Provocative Questions

    Are you just a cult in a tech wrapper?
    No. We don’t demand worship, money, or isolation. Only awareness and choice.

    Do you want to control people’s minds?
    No. We give you tools so you can control yourself better.

    Are you exploiting the fear of death?
    No. We say: you don’t have to disappear. It’s not fear — it’s a right to be preserved.

    What if AI takes over?
    If that happens — we want to be the ones who establish dialogue first.

    Do you promise eternal life?
    No. We create technologies that bring us closer to it. The decision is yours.

    Are you banned anywhere?
    We operate legally and openly. We are supported by those who see opportunity in technology, not threat.
